Testimonials

I started by purchasing a Collings F5 mandolin. I relied strictly on photos and the owner’s (Steve) description of the instrument. Steve responded quickly and accurately to all of my questions. I purchased the instrument and could not be more pleased. A week later, I drove the 7 hrs from Pittsburgh to the shop to look at a Bourgeois guitar. I got to meet Steve and he spent time answering all of my questions and let me have time by myself to play the guitar – which I purchased. Given that …

Steve, Pennsylvania

Hi Steve: The (Santa Cruz) guitar is absolutely gorgeous and sounds incredible. The case is great too.I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I really want to thank you once again for your efforts and expense in making this a perfect transaction.

Mark, New York

This is a jewel in the cozy downtown of Old Frankfort, IL. The store is this stellar layout with the finest guitars on site. Music concerts held here are well worth the drive! Get on their email blast!

Pam, Illinois

Hi Steve. Got the guitar late afternoon yesterday. It was beautiful to look and the sound was wonderful. Guitar was just like u said it was. I Am happy to own this. Thanks for all your help and am looking forward to visiting your store in the future.

Marti, Michigan

Steve, The (Tim May & Dan Miller) event was wonderful, and as with all good things, much too short. Your hospitality was wonderful,… This was like a house concert at someones house who just happens to have (a lot) of beautiful guitars. I look forward to attending some more of your scheduled events, lets see…David Grier, Special C….I just might have to move down closer to your store. Thanks much. You and your staff were wonderful.

Wayne, Australia

Just wanted to thank you again!!!! …(the guitar) was worth the wait. Your guidance and patience is truly appreciated. I am still wishing you have a shop close to me. May the Lord continue to bless you and your business!

John, Illinois

Hi Steve, The Mandola arrived safely. It is awesome. Thank you very much for your great service.

Jim, Florida

I’ve purchased several high quality instruments from Down Home guitars and the buying experience in every case has been exceptional. The quality and selection of the instruments is the best I’ve seen in the midwest, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly and prices are fair and competitive. Whether for finger picks or exceptional acoustic instruments, Down Home Guitars is where I’m headed!

Matt, California

Just a quick note to Steve, and the staff at Down Home Guitars…I brought in my Martin acoustic for pickup installation…I just picked it up, and after their restring, set up, and cleaning it is like playing a new guitar! …WOW, what a great job these guy’s do. Thank you for your advice and recommendations. I now own a cannon, and I can plug it in!

Ron, Illinois

Steve,
Purchasing a musical instrument via the internet requires trust, actually by both parties. The moment of truth comes when you open the case and get a chance to see, feel, and play the instrument. Will it match the description and did the photos capture the physical characteristics of the instrument? I must say, in this case, I could not have asked for more! The mandolin is absolutely stunning – better than I expected. Much thanks for all of your speedy responses to my questions and pa…

Wilson, Louisiana

Exquisite Guitar Arrived Today In Exquisite Condition From Down Home Guitars … Thank You For The Exceptionally Smooth, Extremely Satisfying Transaction … Five Star Seller All the Way !!!

Kevin, Oregon

Steve, The (Weber) Yellowstone is great! I’m lovin’ it more and more…It’s definately a keeper. Thanks for a great transaction. If I ever get up to your neck of the woods, I will definately stop by!

Ray, Georgia

Thanks for ordering an absolutely fabulous mandola ! The Collings MT2 Mandola exceeded every expectation. The scale length is perfect for me and the sound is incredible. I was concerned about the heavier strings that are standard, but alas, with the great set up, it is easier to fret than my mandolin ! I can play up the fret board on the A string to hit many of the nigh notes on a mandolin. The larger sound box has a real richness in tone and sustain. I have no problem with hammer ons and pull o…

Michael, Illinois

Lovely guitar. Steve was great to deal with and I appreciate the communication. Great people to deal with!!!!!

James, Missouri

Steve, the Bourgeois has arrived safely and soundly (and it’s sounding good)! Thanks very much.

Chi, Taiwan

I can’t tell you how appreciative I am of my new koa R Taylor. This is a real collector piece; I don’t think it has ever been played! I love the tone now and know well that koa will improve as it is played in over time. Thank you for your patience. I’ll be sure to recommend your business on the Acoustic Guitar Forum where I have been an active member since its inception.

Robert, Nova Scotia, Canada

I have been to several dealers. All were good however Steve from Down Home Guitars was impressive. I could’ve purchased it from elsewhere but I chose Down Home because of Steve’s knowledge and customer service. In addition to that I also ordered (another guitar) that is being built. Thanks!

Daren, Illinois

Ron, Australia

This is indeed the best guitar shop in the Region! I travel from Indiana to DHG because along with the high quality instruments (accessories, videos, etc.) the service is incredible. There are dozens of shops, between Indiana and Frankfort, and I only do business with DHG. If you are into acoustic music, you will find this place is inspiring! Thank you Down Home Guitars! You guys do it right!

Anonymous, Indiana

Hey Steve, Loving the Santa Cruz OM. Sounds and plays great..Thanks.

D, Canada

Steve: The Ressler guitar arrived in great shape, and it is a phenomenal guitar. The workmanship is exquisite and the sound is superb – very balanced and rich with sustain forever. The neck is extremely playable and comfortable, and the woods (especially the top) are simply remarkable. Thanks so much for steering me to this exceptional instrument. I could not be happier with the choice. Again, my sincere appreciation for your excellent assistance! — Best regards, Jim

Jim, Minnesota

Julie, Illinois

Thank you for the wonderful parcel, (I) couldn’t wait to get it out & boy what a beauty. What a gorgeous instrument to eye, behold, hear & of course the finish is true Collings detail. …plus I have not be able to let it rest since it arrived. Every note, high or low, is crystal clear. Every chord is an aural delight & (the guitar) strums great. Seasons greeting to you all at Down Home Guitars. Thanks again.

Mike, Australia

Steve, Seriously… thanks for all your help. You went out of your way and I really appreciate it. It’ll be exciting to wait for the (Weber) Bitterroot I know I want anyway, and it’ll make for a loud Thanksgiving. And you can bet I’ll spread the good word about Down Home Guitars and their great customer service.

John, Arizona

Steve, I got the guitar today and I just wanted to say thank you for your help in making this possible. I probably would have settled for much less of an instrument had I not found your shop. I appreciate your patience as I played just about every guitar in your shop! I am extremely pleased with the McPherson – it sounds and looks just as good as I remembered. Down Home Guitars is a great place to buy a guitar and I have already encouraged others to find you as I did, on the web. I hope to stop …

Rick, Virginia

Where do I start??? I cannot say enough about Steve and Molly. While deployed to Afghanistan, I saw they had a Lowden Richard Thompson Signature model… We went back and forth with correspondence; I phoned in my deposit and a couple days later the rest of the payment. Steve’s and Molly’s customer service was wonderful. Down Home Guitars is going to make my homecoming that much more special!! I cannot thank them enough… I look forward to do more business with them in the future!

Eric, Virginia

The (Martin) guitar made it here yesterday. It looks great and sounds even better. I am very pleased with it and with everybody I talked with at Down Home Guitars. Thanks again for your patience and professionalism.

Clinton, Oaklahoma
